How long was it before the first two weren't as uncomfortable Karen?

Stay strong, you are almost there:)

I think it was two weeks from first to middle then the first few days with the middle one was painful but got better after a few days. The larger one was large enough that I failed to get the depth of the first two by a half-inch. The middle one did not have lingering pain afterwards while the larger one did and took three 200mg ibuprofen which helped some.

I am guessing three more days (3 x times per day) till it fits w/o pain.

Yes I am indeed staying strong but at the same time got one more dilation to do tonight eek.
